His GPA is the highest among Newark’s 2,649 graduates in the Class of 2023, and highest-ever for the city public school district. It earned him more than 40 scholarship offers, many from the nation’s top universities: Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Princeton, Penn State, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Southern California, and Rutgers. “I am grateful for the opportunities to attend such esteemed universities and to represent my family and community. “I do not take lightly the privilege and responsibility to be among the few individuals selected for such honors,” Okafor said. The 18-year-old plans to attend Harvard University to pursue a neuroscience degree. “There’s absolutely nothing average him,” Science Park principal Darlene Gearhart said. “Achunike is an extraordinary (person). He’s humble, driven, and industrious. He has always been a great kid. He is always eager to learn,” Gearhart said. Superintendent of Schools Roger León acknowledged Achunike’s exceptional performance as a source of pride for Science Park High, the school district, and the Newark community. “His achievements are a testament to his perseverance, resilience, and dedication to excellence. We wish him continued success at Harvard, and look forward to more accomplishments from him in the future,” León said. Achunike’s father Godfrey Okafor said his son’s achievements are also a source of family pride. “We place a high premium on education in our home. Education, and continuing to learn in life, allows young people to provide for themselves and their families, and build their future,” Okafor, a high school math teacher, said. Godfrey Okafor says his five other children, including two older sons and three daughters, are currently studying computer engineer and pharmacology, or enrolled at nursing school and law school.

Congratulations! Africans break academic and other records all the time overseas. Only Nigerians chest beat and celebrate as if they are the only ones, creating unnecessary attention to themselves. This has derailed chances and careers from jealous colleagues. If Nigerians are so brilliant and resourceful, why is their villages, towns and country barren dumps? They have to "develop" others backyard but their own. Attract your talents and others home with tolerance, peaceful co-existence and accommodating behavior within you and outside. Instead of beating your chests when the sun rises. 2 Likes 1 Share |
